The present article is to explain Ibn Sina’s view on the God’s knowledge of things by rational-analytic method. Peripatetic philosophers including Ibn Sina have used the expression representation (irtisam) in discussing divine foreknowledge of things. Commentators and critics of Avicenna’s works had not the same interpretation of this expression but had given different understandings of it so that the God’s knowledge is explained in terms of presential knowledge in the eyes of some scholars and in the context of representational one according to others.
